speaking, a NODICT subfile is NOT a self-describing file. It is typically
used to interface to some other software, not PowerHouse. If we start using
special records, then the other software must take that into account. This
would be a break from tradition with PowerHouse. I'm not saying that it
would not be useful, I'm just saying that it's not something we've ever
done. Besides, if you want the description or any other dictionary type
information, you can create a regular subfile and ignore the dictionary
portion as required. Just my opinion.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
